http://sourceforge.net/projects/dmetanalyzer/

Software tool for the automatic association analysis among the variation of the patient genomes and the clinical conditions of patients, i.e. the different response to drugs. The system allows: (i) to automatize the workflow of analysis of DMET (drug metabolism enzymes and transporters)-SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) data avoiding the use of multiple tools; (ii) the automatic annotation of DMET-SNP data and the search in existing databases of SNPs (e.g. dbSNP), (iii) the association of SNP with pathway through the search in PharmaKGB, a major knowledge base for pharmacogenomic studies. It has a simple graphical user interface that allows users (doctors/biologists) to upload and analyze DMET files produced by Affymetrix DMET-Console in an interactive way.

MRI Simulator that provides a realistic approximation of an actual MRI scanner to allow habituation and training of participants in an environment less daunting than a real scanner. Special populations such as children, the elderly, and psychiatric patients, are often prone to claustrophobia and anxiety in the bore of a magnet, and consequently have a much higher rate of terminating the experiment or scan session before its completion. Some centers that have dealt with these populations estimate a 50%-80% failure rate. With the use of the MRI Simulator this failure rate can often be reduced below 5%, improving cost effectiveness.

A commercial optical diagnostic company focused on providing clinicians with critical information to improve patient care. The Optical Renal Function Monitor (ORFM) is their first product platform and is focused on real-time, easy to use, and cost-effective monitoring of kidney function. Their non-invasive monitoring technology works in a similar fashion to pulse oximetry by using a light sensor placed on the skin. After the sensor has been placed, a proprietary biocompatible tracer is administered. The system can then monitor the patient''s real-time point-of-care kidney function. This information will allow for earlier detection of renal issues enabling clinicians to provide earlier, and hence more effective interventions. MediBeacon has created a research grade technique that is clinically applicable for real-time point-of-care Glomerular Filtration Rate measurement (mGFR). MediBeacon has invented a fluorescent tracer agent (MB-102) that is removed from the blood exclusively by the GFR mechanism of the kidneys. Together with their non-invasive detection device, this will deliver a real-time point-of-care measurement of GFR.

https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/public-health-england

An executive agency of the Department of Health in the United Kingdom to protect and improve the nation''s health and well-being, and reduce health inequalities. It employs 5,500 staff, who are mostly scientists, researchers and public health professionals. They have 15 local centers and 4 regions (north of England, south of England, Midlands and east of England, and London). They work closely with public health professionals in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and internationally. Its formation came as a result of reorganization of the National Health Service (NHS) in England. It took on the role of the Health Protection Agency, the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse and a number of other health bodies. They are responsible for: * making the public healthier by encouraging discussions, advising government and supporting action by local government, the NHS and other people and organisations * supporting the public so they can protect and improve their own health * protecting the nation''s health through the national health protection service, and preparing for public health emergencies * sharing information and expertise with local authorities, industry and the NHS, to help them make improvements in the public''s health * researching, collecting and analyzing data to improve our understanding of health and come up with answers to public health problems * reporting on improvements in the public''s health so everyone can understand the challenge and the next steps * helping local authorities and the NHS to develop the public health system and its specialist workforce

A clinical stage company developing a timely, precise, and convenient method for measuring plasma volume and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). They focus on development and commercialization of a patented technology for quantifying clinically relevant parameters that have been challenging or impossible to measure in the past. The company is currently developing technology for quantifying volume status and kidney function in a clinically actionable timeframe. Their technology could have a significant impact on the treatment of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
